Alva Astor nodded, took the order, and looked up at the couple, feeling something was odd. After ordering six dishes and a soup, she couldn't directly ask Egbert Parker if they had quarreled, so she just winked at Sebastian Astor.
But Sebastian paid her no mind, not even bothering to lift his eyelids.
Alva pouted a bit in defeat and casually found a topic to chat about with Clara Sutton, easing the atmosphere a little.
When the food was served, Hiram Seaton, wearing a gray shirt, finally arrived late. He greeted Clara with a smile and sat in the empty seat next to Alva.
Alva noticed his tired but handsome face and quickly served him a bowl of soup, pushing it in front of him.
"Thank you," Hiram Seaton smiled warmly at her.
"Just got off the operating table?" Sebastian asked nonchalantly as he served Clara a piece of rib.
